The Canon Junior Doubles Championship was played on a sunny, but windy Sunday at the Canon Swim & Tennis Club in Fairfax. The tournament, part of the 2007 North Bay Junior Tennis Association Grand Prix series, attracted teams from as far as Penngrove.

Coached by Orlando Wiggins, Jeff Harding and Rapheal Durr, the Southern Marin Lightning Youth Basketball Club that was founded by the late Jerry McIntosh came in first place in the Pacific AAU National Quilafyer this weekend in Sacramento. Darrick McIntosh was instrumental in the team winning all three games especially the championship game. Darrick had 7 block shots, 14 rebounds,and 14 points. The final score was 71-47 against the Oakland Bay Area Ballers. The Southern Marin Lightning were ranked 1st in the
divison II boys basketball team going into this tournament. They out scored their aponits 186 to 141 for all three games. They shot 87% from the free throw line and 73% from the field. They didn’t miss one shot in the third quarter of the championship game. We will also be raising money to hopefully go to Nationals in Arkansas or to the state games in San Diego. Both are being held in July. You also might want to call Darrick McIntosh to ask how this big win felt inlight of lossing his dad a week ago. 415-328-6888. Jeff Harding could give you more detail reguarding the game, play by play. His # is 415-378-0856. Orlando’s # is 415-724-6895. The names of the players are Darrick McInosh, DeMarqus Wiggins, Garland Dune, Alex McNabb, Jerrell Milton, Giancarlo DiTullio, Caio Ferreira, Grayson Goerss, Adrian Harding, Mike Mitchell, Matt Olhausen, Caleb Prigian, Matt Robertson, and Eli Washauer.

Rotary d. M&G Drive-In 10-3 (Tue 5/15)
Rotary jumped out to an early 3-0 lead thanks in part to Michael Dunns two-out double in the second, but M&G came back in the bottom of the third when Will Sanchez doubled to left, driving home a pair.
Rotarys four-run flurry in the fifth blew the game open. Stewart Kimball had three hits and four RBI for the club, and pitchers Johnny MacLean and Ollie Davison threw well.

Round Table Pizza d. Chapel of the Hills 14-3 (Wed 5/16)
Chapel led 2-0 after a half inning, but Round Table scored one in the bottom of the first and four in the second to move ahead 5-2, and that was all they needed. Round Tables Randall Thornton (three hits) and Kevin Miles starred at the plate, Isaac Vernon played phenomenal defense at second (in the top of the fifth he charged and fielded a ground ball, tagged the base runner heading from first to second, and then threw to first to complete the double play) and pitchers Ziggy Reskevicius and Colin Dallera more than held their own.

76 Redhill d. Jacks Drugs 8-5 (Wed 5/16)
76 did not score until the bottom of the third inning, by which time Jacks had a 3-0 lead, but once they got that first run, more soon followed. Chris Gaidano had the key hit in the third, a two-out two-RBI double to left that tied the game 3-3. 76 scored three more runs in the fourth on hits by Cooper and Skylar Sullivan and Justin McGuinness.
Jacks scored two in the top of the sixth (Griffin Cronk three for three with a double for Jacks) to pull close, but 76 snuffed the rally and walked off with the 8-5 win.

T&B Sports d. Foresters 7-2 (Fri 5/18)
Will Martel went two for three and had two important first-inning RBIs and Tor Churton drove in two runs in the third to give T&B a much-needed cushion before Foresters pitcher Giorgio Cico entered the game in the fourth (he had dominated T&B the previous two times they played and did so again in this game). T&B starter Brendan White blanked Foresters over the first three innings, and closer Dante Malone also pitched well.

76 Redhill d. Chapel of the Hills 2-1 (Sun 5/20)
J.T. Balano drove in Jesse Jones in the top of the first inning to stake Chapel to a 1-0 lead, and after 76 tied it up in the bottom of the inning when Jake Andronico sped home on Skylar Sullivans double to center, fans assumed theyd be in for some fireworks.
But it turned out to be more of a pitchers duel (Chapel hurlers Jesse and Jake Jones and J.T. Balano combined for 15 strikeouts and 76 pitchers Cooper and Skylar Sullivan, Jake Andronicoleague-max three scoreless inningsand Justin McGuinness were obviously lights-out as well) and the score stayed 1-1 through the sixth, prompting extra innings.
Finally, in the bottom of the eighth inning, Jensen Yamane singled to drive in Ian Cambell, whod reached on a walk and advanced on Jonathan Hierles fly ball that dropped in safely, giving 76 the narrow win.

T&B Sports d. Rotary 11-6 (Sun 5/20)
T&B led 5-1 after three innings, but Rotary roared back with five runs in the top of the fourth to go up 6-5. T&B knotted it up in the bottom of the inning when Dante Malone singled, stole second and scored on Brendan Whites sharp single.
Malone came on to pitch in the fifth and did not allow a run, and then in the bottom of that inning T&B got a five-spot of their own. Highlights: Tor Churton drove in Maxx Weeks for the second time in the game (the pair also hooked up in the third when Weeks hit a mammoth triple and came home on Churtons ground ball to the right side) and then scored himself on Harvey Hunerbergs double to center.
Malone was four for four with three RBI and pitched two shutout innings to close it out.

Silver Screen moved ahead in the middle innings, but Thomas Gazzolis three-run home run for the Knights tied the game, 9-9, in the bottom of the fourth.
Guy Heyworth, who was four for four on the night, keyed Silver Screens five-run rally in the top of the sixth, and closer Josh Zwick faced all of six batters over the final two innings to preserve the win for Silver Screen.

Kyle Stillman doubled home Tyler Weeks, Sam Reinertsen and Nate Balano to move Fire ahead 3-2 in the bottom of the second.

Greenwood scored one in the fourth, and then three unearned runs (missed fly ball, poor throws) in the top of the fifth to go up 9-7.

San Anselmo Police d. American Legion 9-7 (Fri 5/18)

Conor Briese, Jackson Waldron and Hanley all scored in the third to extend the Police lead to 8-0.
Jamie Axsom tripled home Ryan Leary and Dante Gambardella to put Legion on the board (8-2) in the bottom of the inning. And then in the bottom of the fourth, Aaron Fennell drove in a pair with a double, and Royce Wintermute brought him home, and suddenly it was an 8-5 ball game.
Legion pitcher Kyle Aubrey shut Police down in the fourth and fifth, but San Anselmos finest were able to add one more run in the top of the sixth when Nate Davison knocked home Waldron.
Sam Korol and Matt Potters extra base hits led to two runs for Legion in the bottom of the sixththe game was now 9-7 with no outbut Police pitcher Max Hassen was able to bookend a pair of strikeouts around a groundout to finish it off.

Knights of Columbus d. Greenwood Electric 12-3 (Sun 5/20)
Knights batters Thomas Gazzoli, David Ross, Daniel Nagler and Peter Krebs mashed two doubles apiece (teammates Kenny Thompson and Philip Baumsteiger doubled as well) to help lead their team to a 12-3 win over Greenwood. The club got out to a quick 4-0 lead in the top of the first and never looked back, adding on runs in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, too.
Ross started for Knights, going three innings and allowing just one run, while Thompson closed it out, giving up just two over the final three innings. Ross and Krebs also combined for an exciting 6-3 double play to end the game when Ross dove and knocked down a hard grounder at short, stepped on second and fired to Krebs at first to conclude the game in style. Teammate Jimmy Kramer also showed how to finish an inning in the fifth, when he nabbed Sam Katzs line shot to center for the third out.

Silver Screen Video d. San Anselmo Police 7-3 (Sun 5-20)
Eric Colindres doubled in the top of the first to drive in Josh Zwick and Mitch Young (Guy Heyworth had already scored on Youngs single) and shoot Silver Screen out to a 3-0 lead.

Zwick knocked in Ryan Moore who had walked and stole second and third in the top of the second to open Silver Screens lead to 4-1.
Andrew Kuehn and Max Hassen scored on Nate Davisons double in the bottom of the inning though and so Silver Screen was now up just 4-3 after two innings.
Hassen did not allow a run in the third or the fourth when he pitched for Police.
Silver Screens Young blanked Police in the bottom of the third, helped by Colindress remarkable sliding catch in center field of Jackson Waldrons blast, and mound mate Zwick followed suit the rest of the way. Silver Screen got their final runs in the fifth when Youngs double to right drove in two, and then he himself came home on Kiernan Kellys single.

Novato Little League North T-ball: Redwings vs. Storm on May 15th, 2007.

Can our Redwings get any better? Yes they can. Break out performances continued today as the Redwings showed us what they have learned this seasonunder the steady tutelage of coach Steve Malliaras and his staff.

We knew our kids could hit, but today every single Redwing successfully hit a thrown pitch. Morgan Overstreet drove her way to pole position by consistently connecting with the ball from the plate. Morgan once again followed up her batting with savvy base running. Bryce Bernales in his breakout performance went three for three at bat, with two of his hits coming off the first pitch thrown at him.

In addition, the magnet of the day award goes to Morgan Overstreet who somehow lured most of the second inning hits right to her. She successfully scooped up several hits and followed them with successful throws to first base.

Congratulation to all the Redwings players, coaches, friends, and family members who have helped make our birds fly high!
